Macho Stretch Maxx
The StretchMaxx has a good design and it is very durable. Instead of using a hydraulic mechanism like the Century unit, it has a crankshaft construction. This construction requires less care but its motion isn’t very smooth. The Stretch Maxx ranges in price from $249.99-$299.99.
Economical alternative
You can use a step ladder instead of a stretching machine. Place your leg on a rung on a comfortable height. After that you can move step by step. It is also necessary for improving the targeting skills. Try to do kicking or punching between each rung.
Another low cost alternative which can also improve your flexibility is an overhead pulley and rope. The rope should be attached to your ankle and through your pulley. You can do leg stretching by pulling on the rope. You should pull the rope slowly in order to avoid pulling or tearing of your muscles. This exercise should be performed with a balance. If you are doing this exercise for the first time the area need to have some padding.
 Speedbag
The Speedbag is necessary for meliorating your speed and timing.
Everlast Deluxe Punching Set
It is constructed from a solid wood drum and steel. It also has a ball-action swivel, Everhide bag gloves, leather jump rope and a training manual. This machine is of high quality and very permanent. Its main drawback is that because of its wood construction it can’t be prone to warping if you install it outside. This type of equipment should be mounted inside in order to protect it from these elements. The cost of this machine is $119.99 - $139.99.
Century's Chuck Norris Speed Bag Platform System
This type of equipment includes all things necessary to get started such as the platform, speedbag, gloves, swivel and mounting hardware. It also has weather treated fiberglass and it is able to withstand the elements much more than the Everlast Set. But unfortunately it isn’t durable. In case if you want to place it outside you should remove the striking bag after every use because it can be damaged by the weather. They can be purchased from $84.99 to $99.99.
Double Ended Striking Ball
This kind of equipment can be beneficial for improving your timing and accuracy.
Everlast Double-End Bag

Century Double End Strike Ball
Its training possibilities are similar to the Everlast bag. However it doesn’t come in leather. The tested model has been manufactured from black vinyl and contained the essential mounting hardware. The cost of this ball is $29.99 - $59.99.
Low Cost Alternative
Cut off one of the legs from a pair of women's nylons. Put a rubber ball there that is nearly 12" in diameter and tie a piece of rope to each end of the nylon leg. Then you should attach one end of the rope to the ground and the other end to your ceiling. You will be able to make a Double-End Bag for under $10.
